Sterling should have dived then.

Sterling has been frustrating this game. Zero end product. He's always frustrating. He wouldn't be in my 11 with everyone fit Zero end product? Are you joking? Wow.

Ah there’s the real John Stones 😂😂🤦♂️ I knew you’d enjoy that one. This season he’s pretty much knocked that out of his game. Absolute stupidity. Before all this I wondered if he’d fuck up and how much of an influence Dias is on him. Can he cope without him? Tbh that mistake is just bullshit. Like there’s nothing anyone else could have done to help. He just lost concentration. So frustrating.

We haven’t enough class at the back to be playing from the back. Only a matter of time until something like that happened.

Poland are going to win this. Southgate needs to freshen it up even more so now.

Bit worrying that Southgate is getting out coached here by Sousa who is minus 'his Tyrese'...

Dias would have probably been in space for a pass at worst. I’m not blaming Walker but he was on the halfway line pretty much on the first touch and Phillips is jogging back - they’re not expecting Stones to do that. He’s come across the box with his touch, if he steps over it it just rolls out wide and he probably launches it away before he’s pressed. Daft, just daft. Fair play on the pressing from the Poles, absolutely smashed it in. I still think Stones should be starting, b

Walker is just so poor on every level except pace. And he rarely uses that to good effect.

Poor free kick from Phil. I blame Guardiola for playing him too much

But that’s just shit. He looked over his shoulder up the line and should have just turned and lined it. He can’t let it affect him and he needs to adapt to not having a player like Dias by him.

We really are attacking like kids on junior school playground (and defending), lots of individuals having a go showing off but achieving nothing, then when trying to pass giving it to the opposite team.

I missed the end of my post off... I think if he starts it probably leads to 3 at the back with the current options because Maguire isn’t there and neither is Mings. I’m hopeful on Gomez coming back from injury strong as I think him and Stones will be the best option. Maguire is fine against weaker teams, and he will be a threat from set pieces but I think he’s gone backwards since the last World Cup.

Wish more refs would let play go on as much as this guy Not blowing up for every heavy tackle Think he’s reffed this spot on

Phillips is way out of his depth. First time he's been put under pressure for England and he's failed miserably.

We might be able force something from a set piece. Other than that we'll have to settle for a draw

Kane wasn't busting a gut to get in the box there Probably knackered from chasing the ball down by the halfway line, winning it out wide and just generally not being in the box this half.
